iTree Design

i-Tree Design allows Carrboro residents and businesses to make estimations of the benefits which trees provide to their property. Simply inputting location, species, tree size, and condition provides users a report of greenhouse gas mitigation, air quality improvements, and stormwater interception. An additional step of drawing a building footprint and virtually “planting” a tree returns tree effects on building energy use.

We inventoried 23 of the of trees on the property of Fire Station and ran a Tree Benefit Report using iTree Design to use as an example for what information you can gain about your property. Below is a sampling of the data from the report. You can review the Full Report here.
